Free PDF Creation
July 7th, 2005Adobe makes great software, but not everyone can justify the cost of their products, such as Adobe Acrobat, if all you need to do is output the occasional PDF file. There are a number of free and inexpensive PDF conversion programs available, all with varied costs and features of course. I have used one program in particular, and feel it is worth recommending. This program is called pdf 995 and it is made by Software995. To use pdf995 you must download two small files, one print driver and one converter. After installing those files you’re ready to go. The free version of the software will display some sponsor ads when you make your conversion, but the ads are not intrusive, and certainly reasonable considering that the software is free. You can purchase an upgrade to use the program without ads for about $10. Using the program is very simple. For example, if you are using Microsoft Word, simple navigate to the File > Print menu, then choose ‘PDF995′ as your printer.
